Jacks were a short lived but highly influential Japanese psych band who released only 2 albums of beautiful, dark, free rock. Have a listen to a couple of stunning tracks from their reverb soaked 1968 LP Vacant World beginning with the epic song entitled Marianne

Who needs drugs when life as it is is this trippy?

This video presented by the Enoshima Aquarium shows the bioluminescent mantle of a flame scallop (Ctenoides ales, a.k.a. noble file clam or electric eye scallop), a bivalve mollusk found around reefs in shallow tropical waters. The purpose of the flashing lips remains a mystery.

Ah, sweet mystery of life.

Meet Hatsune Miku, the holographic superstar from Japan

Hatsune Miku, the holographic J-Pop superstar from Japan, commands legions of fans who go totally nuts for her, almost exactly the same way fans of Miley Cyrus do for her.  As cool as this technology is (and it’s very cool), I just can’t imagine an audience going so crazy for something like this on these shores. It would be like freaking out over The Archies.

 
Thanks, Juan Monasterio!

The husband and wife team of Japanese animators known as Uruma Derubi produce cartoons for Fuji TV children shows. Their creations include “a talking tapeworm that comes out of a person’s ass and spouts a quote by Pascal, walking mandarin oranges from outer space that squeak and do stuff and a talking turd who juts out of a toilet to impart philosophy etc.” Here’s two examples of their totally twisted art, ‘Poop Genie’ and ‘Bottom Biting Bug’. Japanese kids love this stuff. And so do I.

Tina, Yuki and Sumire, post-op transexual trio The Spanky Girls, sing ‘Mapouka’, a song about their asses (I think).

Girls, no amount of surgery is gonna change the fact that you can’t sing. But, you do look good.
